IRVINE, CA - March 9, 2017 — SaberTek introduces SBR6201, the first dual-band, dual-mode 802.15.4g and 802.11ah transceiver IP to the market, exceeding the requirements of both standards. SBR6201 Wi-SUN radio IP is the ideal solution for smart grid and smart city. SBR6201 samples are available now..

802.15.4g mesh network is one of the prevailing trends for Smart Utility Networks (SUN). 802.15.4g nodes establish peer-to-peer communication and can expand coverage to wide urban and suburban areas. Due to the nature of the system, nodes may be receiving relatively weak signals from a distant node, while an adjacent node may be transmitting at high power in a close-by channel.

For reliable system operation in the field, transceivers need to have high blocker tolerance in the receive mode and low ACLR in the transmit mode, far exceeding the requirements of 802.15.4g standard. Systems may operation both in 2.4GHz band and in sub-GHz band, with sub-GHz providing longer range.

"With high flexibility and high performance, SBR6201 enables utility companies and meter manufacturers to own their chip, reducing their system cost and improving their system performance," says Farbod Behbahani, Ph.D., President and CEO of SaberTek Inc.

SaberTek has modem/MAC IP partners who have proven digital modem/MAC IPs. SaberTek and its partners can provide core IPs required for a complete system.
